this "bullshit" comes from our experience of living there for years. from being ripped off all the time, from being insulted, from being screamed at at the airport. i have traveled the world, and never been treated as badly as in Curacao. We talked to locals, and some confirmed that there is just a strain with dutch tourists, and they don't like having them. i get it that you might experienced things differently, and that the situation feels different to everyone. also, we spent a lot less money in Bonaire (if you compare tour prices and restaurants and hotels you'll see). and we did feel the safest in Aruba. it is ok if you disagree, but please don't invalidate our opinion.

​@@RDNTDrones despite all that, Curaçao was still your favourite, how come? I found that rather strange. I am sorry and I apologize that you have encountered some rude people here in Curaçao (unfortunately they are everywhere, and I have travelled to over 80 countries). Fact is that saying that "most" locals hate the tourists is generalizing, and gives a completely wrong impression of the reality. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. However, facts are facts. Bonaire is the safest, and Bonaire is definitely not the cheapest...even though you spent less money there somehow. I am telling you these things as a born and raised local who has visited A+B several times. Glad that you enjoyed all three though, each with its own charm 😊

@@Toto121982 Curacao is simply incredibly beautiful. We love all the bays in the west, we love that you can see so many animals everywhere! I think you are right and I should have phrased it better, what I meant was: most locals I TALKED TO confirmed, that they are extremely frustrated with the dutch tourists (for good reasons). and as someone that was wrongfully detained on the airport and my embassy had to rescue me I kind of felt that hate in that moment. but you are right, bad choice of words. As for safety, you are also right that there is probably less crime in Bonaire. However, I am talking about my feeling of safety as a young woman. I simply felt less bothered in Aruba, and I enjoyed the atmosphere there more when by myself. I guess day tours and some restaurants in Bonaire are cheaper so overall I spent less money. also kind of subjective.

+1 for Toto, all true.

will definitely do (: excited to explore more of the fantastic area!
